Kidney Stones

Kidney stone symptoms include sharp side or lower back pain that may spread to the abdomen. Burning while urinating, blood in urine, frequent urge to urinate, nausea, or vomiting may also occur. Severe symptoms require urgent medical care.

Diagnosis begins with a clinical review of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Doctors may recommend imaging tests like an ultrasound, X-ray, or CT scan to identify the stone’s size and location. Urine and blood tests help detect infections or mineral imbalances. Accurate diagnosis ensures the right treatment plan for effective and complication-free recovery.

Treatment depends on stone size, location, and symptoms. Small stones may pass naturally with hydration and medications. Larger or painful stones are managed using minimally invasive procedures such as Lithotripsy, Ureteroscopy, or Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy to remove or break stones safely.

Patients undergoing kidney stone treatment in Ranchi at Bhagwan Mahavir Manipal Hospitals receive a structured care plan from consultation through recovery. The journey starts with symptom assessment, pain relief, and imaging to determine the best treatment approach. If stones are small, conservative care with oral medications and fluid intake may help eliminate them naturally.

For persistent or large stones, minimally invasive techniques are carefully selected. Ureteroscopy uses a thin scope to break stones inside the urinary tract, while Lithotripsy uses shock waves to fragment stones from outside the body. In complex cases, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy may be performed to remove stones through a tiny incision in the back.

After treatment, doctors focus on preventing recurrence through dietary guidance, hydration practices, and metabolic evaluation. Follow-ups involve periodic imaging and laboratory checks to monitor kidney health and ensure complete stone clearance.
